Cape Town was once again named Africa’s Leading City Destination at the World Travel Awards – for the fourth consecutive year.
Additionally, a few venues at the V&A Waterfront were also awarded.
The Port of Cape Town was named Africa’s leading cruise port; the Cape Grace Hotel was honoured as Africa’s leading luxury hotel, and the One&Only Cape Town was named Africa’s Leading Luxury Resort.
Go2Africa, a V&A Waterfront-based company, was recognised as Africa’s leading luxury tour operator.
Enver Duminy, CEO of Cape Town Tourism, said: “Winning Africa’s Leading City Destination 2024 for the fourth year in a row is a reflection of the exceptional efforts put into promoting the city as a premier travel destination.
“I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to all our members and winners, including Hotel Verde, Cape Grace, One&Only Cape Town, Go2Africa, and the Port of Cape Town. Their achievements reflect the spirit of excellence that drives our tourism sector forward.”
James Vos, mayoral committee member for economic growth and tourism, said Cape Town’s wins at the World Travel Awards reaffirms the consistent drive in maintaining and growing awareness of the city.
“To every person working in the travel industry and to all the Capetonians who make this city stand out above all others, thank you.”
V&A Waterfront head of communications, Donald Kau, said the Waterfront was one of the most-visited destinations in Africa, and together with their tenants, they were invested in making sure it had the best the region has to offer.
“Heading into our peak tourism season, these accolades underline the quality of our offering and the high expectations we aspire to for the whole neighbourhood as well as for our visitors.”
